Top Ten Reasons I’m Excited H&M is Opening in Austin

1.) Located at The Domain, we will be as far away from the “F1 people” as possible.

2.) I can finally feel good about my tax money going towards the construction of the monstrosity known as The Domain.

3.) I can stop feeling culturally inferior to my friends in NYC and LA.

4.) Since H&M will be located closer to the Ikea in Round Rock, we can propose to the city that we have an annual “Happy Swedish Products in America Day” and take the day off to get lost in both stores.

5.) We no longer have to start hyperventilating when we come across a rare, used H&M clothing item at one of Austin’s thrift or vintage stores.

6.) With over 24,000 square feet and two stories of retail space, it will be easier for me to hide behind a row of clothing and get locked in the store overnight.

7.) We no longer have to carry an extra empty suitcase when we travel to New York or LA.

8.) *Once Trader Joe’s andIn-n-Out Burger open, the process of turning Austin into a major metropolitan city will be complete and we can become walking contradictions who both shop at these places and complain about how we miss “the old Austin”.

I’m excited about Trader Joe’s, even though I’ll probably not shop there any more than I do Central Market or Whole Foods. I’m excited about H&M because who doesn’t need a shirt that looks like you’re wearing just a bra? Never did get into In-N-Out though. I don’t see the hype!

[…] Hipstercrite elaborates on the Top Ten reasons she’s excited Opening Saturday, November 17th at noon, H&M at The Domain will offer the first 500 shoppers in line an H&M t-shirt and Access to Fashion Pass, valued from $10 to $500. One lucky winner will receive an All Access Fashion Pass, allowing them early entry into the store before the doors open to the public. […]

I heard a nasty rumor that our H&M doesn’t carry plus sizes. I have to go see for myself, but I’m going to be very disappointed if I’m stuck with another trendy store I can only buy costume jewelry from.
